Instructions
Iced Dutch Bros Kicker

- Add Irish Cream Syrup to a cup, and pour the espresso shots over the top.
- Add in half & half and stir to combine.
- Add ice to a separate serving cup and pour the espresso mixture over the ice and enjoy. PRO TIP: Carefully pour the mixture back and forth between the two cups to chill the entire drink.
Hot Dutch Bros Kicker
- Brew your espresso shots using your preferred espresso making method into a cup. See my blog post on Five Ways to Make Espresso at Home.
- To a cup, add Irish Cream Syrup and the espresso shots, and stir to combine.
- Add half & half to a milk frothing pitcher and steam using a steam wand. If you don’t have an espresso machine with a steam wand, you can warm and froth the milk using an aerroccino, or you could warm the milk in a pot/ in the microwave, and froth the warmed half & half with a handheld milk frother until foamy.
- Pour the steamed/frothed half & half over the Irish cream-espresso mixture and enjoy!
